Configuring an HTTP-based OVOC Service

The OVOC Services table lets you configure a single HTTP- based AudioCodes One Voice
Operations Center (OVOC) service. You can configure the device to act as an HTTP Proxy that
enables OVOC to manage AudioCodes equipment (such as IP Phones) over HTTP when the
equipment is located behind NAT (e.g., in the LAN) and OVOC is located in a public domain (e.g., in
the WAN). This setup resolves NAT traversal issues. The IP Phones register with the device to
allow communication between the IP Phones and OVOC. Once setup, the OVOC administrator
can access the Web-based management interfaces of each IP Phone .
A summary of the steps required to configure an HTTP Proxy for this OVOC service is listed below:
1. Enable the HTTP Proxy application (see
2. Configure two local, listening IP network interfaces - one for OVOC and one for the IP Phones
(see Configuring IP Network Interfaces
3. Configure the OVOC service in the OVOC Services table (described below). This entails
specifying the IP network interfaces as well as the port number within each interface to which
the HTTP Proxy must listen to.
4. Configure the device's firewall (Firewall table) to allow incoming traffic from OVOC. For more
information, see

The following procedure describes how to configure an OVOC service through the Web interface.
You can also configure it through ini file [OVOCService] or CLI (configure network > http-

It is recommended not to use port 80 as this is the default port used by IP Phones
for their Web-based management interface.
No special configuration is required on the managed equipment.
